A message from Erika:
Welcome to my personal web page for NAMIWalks for the Mind of America. I have created this fundraising page because NAMI, and the work they do, is very important to me. I will be proud to walk in Ann's honor. I hope to raise money for NAMI and, equally as important, to raise awareness of mental illness and especially chip away at the stigma associated with mental illness. In many ways I believe the stigma is what keeps so many people isolated and suffering even more with their illnesses, which isn't the case with other devastating illnesses (cancer, heart disease). Thinking of Ann brings me back to our happy young adult days, when every day brought with it a new adventure, first in college and then our days enjoying the beach lifestyle. Ann was so funny, smart, beautiful and charming. It is obvious so many loved her dearly. I believe she must feel that love wherever she may be. Please donate if you are able to, in memory of my friend Ann, so that NAMI may help others who suffer from depression and other mental illness. These diseases deserve the same attention as others!
Donating to me through this page is easy, fast and secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me. Any amount will make a difference for NAMI, but please try to give generously.
Both NAMI and I appreciate your donation. Thank you for your support.
